Hi All! I’ve been on this list for almost two years. Usually I’m asking questions, although, I’ve occasionally been able to help others out, too – thanks in large part to those who helped me. It all started with asking about N70 vs. N90s. Anyway, I’m now wondering about studio lighting. Time is a problem, and so I’m faced with needing to make a quick (but, hopefully well informed) decision. I’m sure others have struggled with and are struggling with this decision, which is why I’m asking on this list. I’m looking for good lighting for products (for a web site and a black and white catalog). It’d also be nice to do some portraits. I figure I’ve got two primary options, and a ton of sub-options. My question is, should I pursue option #1 or #2. Desire: nice lighting – to be used in a more or less traveling studio setup (i.e. it has to be fairly portable) Background: currently own N90s, SB-26, SB-17, (lenses don’t really matter), decent tripod. Option 1 – Purchase Nikon equipment – probably an SB-28 along with some connector to get that and my SB-26 talking to my N90s. I’d also have to get two umbrellas and stands. Shoot the two flashes into the umbrellas. Which connector would I need? And, are their others with this setup? How does it work? Option 2 – Pursue other non-strobe-flash studio lighting. Like the Iowel Omni Light, or the Desisti Magin Fresnel… I’d have to do a fair amount of research to find out what I need, so it'd take longer. Is Option 1 good enough? Or, should I start looking into #2? Thanks, Christopher ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
